11th November marks Armistice Day which is a space for us to pause, reflect and remember those who gave their lives in conflict in the name of freedom.
The modern world can sometimes feel like few lessons were learnt from the past when we see newsreels filled with conflict, disaster and disrespectful rhetoric. We owe a debt of gratitude for others who have fought and died to preserve our freedom, but the best payment of honouring that debt is living a life respecting ourselves, and others.
All we can ever really control is ourselves and the actions that we take towards others, leading with kindness and love as we make our way through the world. We are all part of an unbroken lineage reaching far back into the past and stretching forwards towards the future. We can all make the world better, and we have a responsibility to do just that.
